Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals struggling with perfectionism by helping them understand the patterns of high self-criticism, fear of mistakes, and pressure to meet unrealistic standards. Perfectionism often leads to procrastination, burnout, and difficulty feeling satisfied, even when you are doing well. In therapy, we focus on challenging rigid thinking patterns, building flexibility, and developing a more balanced and compassionate approach to achievement. I use CBT and ACT-based strategies to address unhelpful beliefs, reduce the impact of self-critical thoughts, and support you in taking action without being held back by the need to be perfect.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
If you hold yourself to very high standards yet rarely feel satisfied with your efforts, perfectionism may be driving constant pressure beneath the surface. While striving for excellence can be a strength, perfectionism often brings self-criticism, worry about mistakes, and difficulty slowing down. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and developing healthier ways to pursue high standards without the chronic strain.

Headline: When "Doing it All" Still Feels Like Falling Behind
The Burden of Being "The Best"
To the world, you have it together. You are the high-achiever, the reliable one, the one who doesn't miss a detail. But internally, the "inner critic" is never satisfied. Whether it’s at work, in your relationships, or in your own self-image, you feel like you are one mistake away from being "exposed." This relentless drive for perfection isn't just a habit—it’s a survival strategy that has left you burnt out and disconnected.
My Approach: From Performance to Presence
In my private-pay practice, we don't just "talk" about your stress. We work to dismantle the rigid rules that keep you stuck. I help high-achieving perfectionists move from a life of constant performance to one of authentic presence. Using an integrated approach, we will:
Neutralize the Inner Critic: Learn to hear the perfectionist voice without letting it drive your decisions.
Embrace "Good Enough": Build the psychological flexibility to prioritize your well-being over an impossible standard.
Reconnect with Values: Pivot your energy away from external validation and toward the things that actually bring you fulfillment.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
I work with folks to better understand the nuances of their perfectionism. Perfectionism can be particularly challenging because of the ways it can feel so beneficial to one's life at times. I try to help my clients understand the way their perfectionism helps them, hurts them, and why it might have felt necessary in the past, so they can feel more free in choosing how they want to interact with the world.
